AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoFilm & Culture Watch: Charity Sandblast has launched a push for an international boycott of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” pointing to the film’s scenes shot in occupied Dakhla and accusing the marketing of treating the Sahrawi territory as an “exotic backdrop” while ignoring its UN-listed status and repression. Arts & Activism: French solidarity groups and FiSahara’s Western Sahara International Film Festival have also renewed calls to treat the production as complicity with illegal occupation, arguing cinema is being used to normalize Morocco’s presence and erase Sahrawi memory. Local Diplomacy & Identity: In parallel, Sahrawi leadership news includes Salek Baba Hasna taking an oath as a new member of the Polisario Front National Secretariat, underscoring ongoing political organization alongside the cultural controversy. Global Spotlight: “The Odyssey” continues to draw major international attention ahead of its July 17 release, with premiere coverage and filming-location chatter now colliding directly with Western Sahara rights debates.
